[0017] Referring to FIG. 2, the pneumatic valve 30 is mounted at the end of the glue container 10 with the air inlet opening 111 for communicating with an air compressor 35 and the cavity 11. The cavity 11 is pressurized by the air compressor 35 to push the piston 20 to slide toward the outlet opening 113, thereby squeezing the glue materials between the piston 20 and the outlet opening 113 to be extruded from the outlet opening 113.

[0018] The detection alarm assembly 40 includes an electromagnetic sensor 41, a controller 50, and an alarm 60.

[0019] The electromagnetic sensor 41 is sleeved on the side wall of the glue container 10 and located between the air inlet opening 111 and the outlet opening 113 for detecting a position of the magnetic component 25. In at least one embodiment, the electromagnetic sensor 41 is arranged close to the outlet opening 113. The electromagnetic sensor 41 and the alarm 60 are electrically connected to the controller 50 respectively. When the magnetic component 25 is flush with the electromagnetic sensor 41, the electromagnetic sensor 41 transmits a signal to the controller 50, The controller 50 receives the signal and controls the alarm 60 to issue an alarm to remind to replenish glue materials or to directly replace the glue container 10.

[0020] In at least one embodiment, the alarm 60 includes an audible alarm 61 and a caution light 63. When an alarm is required, the audible alarm 61 sounds, and the caution light 63 flashes. The audible alarm 61 may be a buzzer. In at least one embodiment, the alarm 60 may be an audible alarm 61 or a caution light 63.

[0021] In at least one embodiment, the electromagnetic sensor 41 and the controller 50 may transmit signals wirelessly. A signal transmission between the controller 50 and the alarm 60 may also be performed in a wireless manner.

[0022] In at least one embodiment, the electromagnetic sensor 41 may slide along the side wall of the glue container 10 between the air inlet opening 111 and the outlet opening 113 to adjust a distance between the electromagnetic sensor 41 and the outlet opening 113, thereby adjusting a height of a warning line of the glue materials in the glue container 10.

[0023] The glue injecting device 100 may further include a dispenser 70. The dispenser 70 is mounted at the end of the glue container 10 with the outlet opening 113. The dispenser 70 communicates with the outlet opening 113.

[0024] In at least one embodiment, the dispenser 70 may include a dispensing nozzle 71. The dispensing nozzle 71 may be directly installed at the end of the glue container 10 with the outlet opening 113. Referring to FIG. 3, the dispenser 70 may further include a glue pipe 73. The dispensing nozzle 71 communicates with the outlet opening 113 through the glue pipe 73.

[0025] In at least one embodiment, the electromagnetic sensor 41 may include a first indicator light 411 and a second indicator light 412. When the magnetic component 25 is located between the air inlet opening 111 and the electromagnetic sensor 41, the first indicator light 411 flashes. When the magnetic component 25 is flush with the electromagnetic sensor 41 or located between the outlet opening 113 and the electromagnetic sensor 41, the second indicator light 412 flashes.

[0026] In at least one embodiment, the detection alarm assembly 40 may be integrated by the electromagnetic sensor 41, the controller 50, and the alarm 60.

[0027] The above glue injecting device 100 realizes the monitoring od the amount of the glue materials in the glue container 10 through a cooperation of the magnetic component 25 and the electromagnetic sensor 41. When the magnetic component 25 is flush with the electromagnetic sensor 41, an alarm is issued by the alarm 60.

[0028] The above glue injecting device 100 may be applied in an apparatus 200 (shown in FIG. 4) that has glue injecting requirements or glue dispensing requirements.
